Hey fellas, Happy new year! So im finally getting around to my interior and was wondering if anybody knows a thing or two about the clock? Im sure its a common thing for them to stop working after a few years but I found a company that will convert it to a quartz functioning clock. Has anybody done this or know how to repair the original?

Does anyone have a tutorial on how to clean the points and mechanism? is it so simple as maybe using canned air to blow out any dust dirt, and maybe spray a little silicone or dry graphite into the mechanism?

I just had one rebuilt a year ago and it just stopped working for some reason.....

There is a thread on the VTCI forum about clock cleaning and getting them to work. I think it is in the 64 - 66 section, but the procedure should be about the same. I went with a battery operated quartz conversion because I always disconnect the car's 12v battery in my garage and now my clock is always correct and never needs resetting.

title says it all. I could make the original work "ok", but proved unreliable. It was great to learn how it all works, but in the end, biting the bullet for a quartz clock is the better answer. Luckily my original electric didn't cost me anything but time.
